- Douglas Describes Court’s Role
In a Democratic United States

by Kit Bakke

Mr. Justice William O, Douglas
was the second speaker in the
University of Pennsylvania’s
CONNAISSANCE series. last Fri-
day in Irvine Auditorium,

Douglas was presented: to the
audience, consisting primarily of
eager young law students, as a
champion of American free speech,

His topic was ‘‘A History of
the Supreme Court in the United
States,’’ The result was a rather
unconnected description of some
exciting decisions, plus some per-
sonal reminiscences, and a
few statistics about the work load
of the Court,

Douglas pointed out that the
Constitution is an eighteenth-cen-
tury product, containing no
guidelines about some of today’s
most pressing problems--bu-
reaucracy, technology and nu-
clear ™ power, Today government
is asked to do more and more for
each citizen; but when the Con-
stitution_-was-—-written the—point
was to ‘‘get government off the
backs of the people.’’

Since then, Douglas sees four
main periods in constitutional his-
tory. For the first 30 ofr
40 years the Court was concerned
with interstate commerce and de-
fining federalism, Then the
slavery issue was paramount, In
the 1880’s there was a whole
series of cases dealing with social
legislation, The Court struck down
hours laws, child labor laws, and
minimum wage laws, all in the
name of private property. Douglas
said this created in the United
States a real Karl Marx
kind of capitalism. This was the
era of the great Holmes dissents,

We are now in the fourth period,
This is the age of civil rights, by
which he means not only racial
situations, but also criminal

rights, the rights of religious min-
orities, and the right of
each voter to have his vote equal
tq everyone else’s vote, Douglas
sees the Court as trying to halt
the present trend of increasing
governmental strength at the ex-
pense of the individual citizen,

He then described an issue dur-
ing the Eisenhower adminis-
tration when a mere charge
of subversion, without substantia-
tion, was grounds for dismissal
from a government job. In one
case, a man was fired for being
caught reading the ‘*‘New Re-
public,’’

Although he admits things aren’t
this bad today, he does think there
is a serious problem of govern-
ment advisors who are afraid
to speak the truth regarding ex-
isting U.S. policies, because
they think they. may lose their
jobs,

Supreme Court advocates are
usually somewhat defensive about
the-existence of an appointed elite

wielding such ‘great power in a

democratic society, True to form,
Douglas kept reiterating that the
people, not the Court, have the
real final say. He gave the in-

come tax and the enfran-
chisement of women as ex-
amples, Both these were issues

in which Constitutional amend-
ments were made, overruling
Supreme Court decisions,

In the discussion session, many
of the questions were directed
toward the legality of the Vietnam
war, since it is being carried on
without explicit Congressional
approval in the form of a dec-
laration of war, Douglas re-
frained from answering these,
because he said he didn’t want
to have to disqualify himself when
an actual case on this matter
came to the Court’s- attention.

and white reproductions of most
of the works in the show; it ar-
ranges the works chronologically
with histories and bibliographical
references, and commentary on
style, subject matter, and events
in Manet’s life pertinent to each
work.

‘One of the virtues of the show,’?
Mrs. Hanson says, is the variety
of types of works included. She
urges visitors to look atthe ‘‘more
intimate works of art,’ the small

prints and drawings, many ofthem
seldom exhibited. The prints make
up a nearly complete collection
and represent the fruits of Mrs.
Hanson’s search for them all over
the country last fall.

‘The exhibition opened Novem-
ber 3 (with a gala opening at which
Lynda Bird Johnson appeared) and
will continue in Philadelphia until
December 11. Admission to the
Museum is $.50 (except on Mon-
days), and admission to the show
is anadditional $.50.

F aculty Prepares
Traditional Show
For Student'Body

There may be a Faculty Show
this year, According to Miss Lang,
many professors are interested in
participating, and the show will;
probably consist of bits andpieces’
rather than an involved plot, be-
cause of the difficulty in
coordinating individual schedules
to a rehearsal time,

Faculty Show will probably take
place in March, hopefully the week-
end of the eighteenth, It will
be impossible to arrange it for an
earlier date, because all the col-
lege theater and dance groups,
and Freshman Show, already have
specific dates and require exten-
sive use of Goodhart “for
their rehearsals,
